VP Joe Biden wants provisions for Native Americans included in any cash payment form of reparations to African Americans

Washington Examiner- June 11, 2020

Southern Democrats consisting of whites in the South who believed in Jeffersonian democracy. In the 1850s they defended slavery in the United States, and promoted its expansion into the West against northern Free Soil opposition.
The Democrat Party should pay reparations to those harmed by the Institution of Slavery.

Democrat President Jackson Administration ignored Su. Ct. Decisions and confiscated
Native American lands and property. That, led to a Trail of Tears and Death.  

Scholars almost unanimously consider Andrew Johnson one of the worst presidents. He is also, arguably, the most racist. 

The Democrat Party should pay reparations to all Native Americans harmed by their removal to reservations.

The Democrat Administration in California and the Democrat Administration of FDR Washington DC. put Japanese, citizens of the United States in concentration camps without legal cause or justification confiscating property, personal and real.
The Democrat Party should pay the US Government for all
monies already paid to those harmed by unlawful detention 
of citizens of Japanese decent.

The 3rd version of the Klan & Democrat Party, especially in the Old South was responsible for beatings, rapes, shootings,
hangings and churches that were  bombed. 
The Southern Manifesto to ignore the Su. Court (again) and uphold The Institution  of Segregation of the Democrat Party. 
The Democrat Party should pay reparations to all those harmed by their actions to 
maintain segregation, to include non-minorities who 
also we're threatened or harmed by their actions.

The Democrat Party policy of giving aid and comfort to illegal  aliens is actionable. 25 citizens a day are killed by Illegal aliens, 12 murders and 13 traffic accidents. ABC News - Jan. 10, 2008. 
The Democrat Party should pay reparations to all those who have been harmed by the political and public policy that aids the death of all citizens of the United States because of or related to said policy. 

The Hart-Cellar Immigration Act of 1965 turned the policy of American Immigration upside down championed by Senator Ted Kennedy (D) and signed in to law by President Lyndon B. Johnson (D).
The Democrat Party should pay reparations for any harm directly related to this change in policy as it was forceable as to the harm that would result because of the policy changes.

 

  "The Negro slave-holders, like the white ones, fought to keep their chattels in the Civil War." Woodson also notes that some black men, including those in New Orleans at the outbreak of the War, "fought to perpetuate slavery."

 

Native Americans owned and traded in slaves. According to the Oklahoma Historical Society website, from the late 18th century on, Native Americans in the South, like whites, owned slaves. 

“Indian Territory” (now the state of Oklahoma) in the 1830s, they took their slaves with them, so that “[b]y the time the Civil War broke out more than eight thousand blacks were enslaved in Indian Territory.” 

 

Today, an estimated 529,000 to 869,000 black men, women and children are still slaves. They are bought, owned, sold, and traded by Arab and Muslim in five African countries. 

 

The census of 1830 lists 3,775 free Negroes who owned a total of 12,760 slaves. Many black slaves were allowed to hold jobs, own businesses, and own real estate. 6/29/2020

 

Those Black slave traders and slave owners and Native American slave traders and slave owners and Muslim slave traders and slave owners would not be eligible to receive reparations from the Democrat Party.

 The Muslim Student Union at UC Irvine disrupted a speech by the Israeli ambassador as members of the audience and then stood up, one by one, and shouted the ambassador down more than a dozen times.

 "We did worse things when I was there," quipped Daniel Mayfield, a defense attorney for some of the activists and a UCI alumnus. Mr. Mayfield please tell us what you did that was worse than violating the free speech and free assembly rights of others as a student of the law. Possibly you are a good example of what is wrong with our legal system. Individuals without moral or ethical standards that would be considered a minimum requirement for your profession!

Freedom of Thought ?

Colleges across the country have increasingly become more resistant to freedom of thought, so it’s no surprise a recent survey found that one in every three students says it’s OK to use violence to shut down so-called hate speech. 

According to a study carried out by the McLaughlin & Associates and sponsored by the William F. Buckley, Jr. Program at Yale.

HATE CRIMES

Perpetrators of hate crimes are motivated by their personal bias against an individual or group of people belonging to a protected group. 

A crime of violence that is motivated by prejudice or intolerance rance against an individual or group of people.

Hate speech is talk that attacks an individual or a specific group based on a protected group or class.

Legal Dictionary 

1 There should be no class of citizens or group that have special privileges* in the eyes of the law. It has the stink of Jim Crow laws or policy that enhance the rights of one citizen by restricting the rights of another citizen.

2 I personally find burning an American flag or burning a Christian cross hateful motivated by their personal bias against an individual or group of citizens despicable.

3 Burning a cross or flag should fall under hate crime laws. But, in the real world they do not. 

4 One falls under a protected class. One falls under the unprotected classes.

5 Burning a cross motivated by personal bias can put the citizen in jail for cross burning, sentenced to 11 years in federal prison.*

6 Burning an American flag motivated by prejudice or intolerance against an individual or group of people is protected free speech. 

7 Hate crime laws and protected classes of citizens amounts to the unequal protection and unequal application of the law under The Constitution

8 This is what you should be investigating. Not more ways to violate civil liberties and civil rights of all the citizens. 

9 Both acts; burning a Cross and burning the Flag are like acts for the same like objectives.

Punishing citizens for what they think or believe belong In the realm of Kings  and  Dictators, not in the legal system of a Constitutional Republic.

Punishing citizens for hate speech or hate crimes is a very dangerous road to go down. The ‘road’ leads to Golags & Corrective Camps aiming to instill loyalty to the ruling Political Party.

American Consequences 

Nov.  7, 2019

 

After all the election headlines this week of Democrat upsets and the Republican Party's suburban struggles... we remind you that both "sides " in Washington, D.C. aren't so different...

 

Both want to take your money. And each wants to spend it on what they think is necessary.

(authoritarian philosophy)

 

You are right but, you probably do not know why. That dimes worth of difference, as Larry Elder put it is; the Democrats are mostly authoritarian conservatives and the Republicans are more middle of the road conservatives. The Democrats take more after Edmund Burke,  like Pelosi  statements she did not trust the common voter to correctly  vote in the best interest of the US.

The Republicans took

more after the liberal philosophy, especially the political philosophy of  Gladstone and Loke and company for the first 150 years.

It is the Republicans that have changed after Hoover left Office and FDR was elected the Republicans have gradually become conservatives just like the Democrats.

Teach Your Children Well

Rush Limbaugh Show
EIB Network
July 26, 2019

Question: How to teach our children grade school thru 12th grade.

A  short overview. Very short.
This is where you start. The beginning of modern civil rights.

Magna Carta Libertatum, commonly called Magna Carta, is a charter of rights agreed to by King John of England at Runnymede, near Windsor, on 15 June 1215. First drafted by the Archbishop of Canterbury to make peace between the unpopular King and a group of rebel barons, it promised the protection of church rights, protection for the barons from illegal imprisonment, access to swift justice, and limitations on feudal payments to the Crown, to be implemented through a council of 25 barons. Neither side stood behind their commitments, and the charter was annulled by Pope Innocent III, leading to the First Barons' War.

Defining  liberalism
John Loke's (1602-1704) philosophy found in the Declaration of Independence is not a concidence. The Declaration of Independence was written by Thomas Jefferson who was an avid reader and disciple of Loke (considered the Father of Liberalism). Contemporary liberalism has retained the fundamental commitiment to individual liberty. Manuel Velasquez - 2005

 The important historical events all happened before the signing of Declaration of Independence

The foundation of our Republic is Christian values and liberal philosophy, especially liberal political philosophy. The great achievement of The Founding Fathers was to put these ideas on paper in the form of  The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution especially, The First Ten Amendments. 

Even though Limbaugh, Hannity, Republican Party and the NYT's does not or can not understand..it is imperative  the children understand how long it took to get to the Great Charter and to the Declaration of Independence  or it will all be lost. You can not expect citizens to cherish what they do not know or have never been taught.

You call this anti-Semitic while overlooking the serious nature and history of The Military Political Complex of Islam.    

 

Israel has "hypnotized the world” to keep people from seeing its “evil doings.”Congresswoman Ilham Omar

 

Would you consider the Prophet Mohammed and almost 1400 years of the same history Anti-Semitic !?
A battle, at Badr,(627) between the followers of Mohammad and the Meccans protecting the caravans which Mohammad won led to victory celebrations.  Returning to Yathrib al Madinah he celebrated by killing non-supporters in the Jewish tribes under his control.
This was considered a great victory for Mohammad. In celebration Mohammad and his followers killed over 900 Jewish men, who had done him no harm,  and sold the women and children into slavery. Then expelled two more Jewish tribes from their
homelands in the areas  he controlled.
H G Wells  1920
CAIR  2012

I do not care what you call it !!
The honor killing and murder and slave culture of Islam is unacceptable by any person with any morality or decency about them.
Just because Muslims cross a international border or we elect them to Congress does not change the facts. They are still followers of the Prophet.

More Little Bits of History....

United States President Thomas Jefferson ordered the Navy and Marines to stop
Muslim pirates from the Barbary States seizing American merchant ships and holding the crews for ransom, demanding the U.S. pay tribute to the Barbary rulers. The President refused to pay this tribute.

 

Islam "was founded on the laws of the Prophet, that it was written in their Quran that ll nations who would not acknowledge

their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to

make slaves of all they could take prisoners, and that ever Musselman (Muslim) who should be slain in Battle was sure to go to Paradise." - Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja - Tripoli Ambassador to Great Britain, 1786. He was answering the question why Muslims enslave and attack Americans.

1801- 1805
1.25 million Europeans were captured by Muslim pirates and sold as slaves between the 16th and 19th centuries.

 

The Bashi Bazouks Muslims killed the pregnant women and killed the unborn infants to insure their ticket to heaven.

(We) must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men." -
The Liberal Lion
Sir Winston Spencer Churchill
1864 - 1965

Jeddah Business District
Saudi Arabia
A man and a woman had been declared guilty of murder. The man was brought before the Prince, a nephew of the King and charges were read. The man was quickly decapitated by the executioner.
"Now a woman was dragged forward. She too was under thirty and slender. The recital of her crime was read. Then the executioner stepped forward with a wooden stave (wooden pole) and delt her a hundred blows with all his strength upon her shoulder. As the flogging (beating) ended the woman sagged over on her side. Next a lorry (truck) loaded with rocks and stones deposited it's cargo in a pile.   At a signal from the Prince the crowd leaped on the stones and started pelting the woman to death. The crowd no longer silent. The men snarled and shouted as they flung their stones, their faces transformed into masks of sadism. It took over an hour before the doctor in attendance, who halted the stoning periodically to feel the victims pulse, announced her dead. It was difficult to determine how she was facing her last and awful ordeal, since she was veiled in Muslim fashion and her mouth was gagged to muffle her cries."
'Come to the Middle East,' pleaded an air lines poster in a nerby window. 'Savor it's romance, it's colour, it's quaint traditions...'
R. M. Macoll - Feb. 1958
"The handful of horrified Europeans in the crowd will not quickly forget."
(evidently they did)

Followers of the Prophet Mohammad, the Muslim's
invasion of India greatly increased 'religious diversity.' Muslim rulers inflicted oppressive taxes, killed and enslaved the infidel Hindus.
Just as Mahmud, the Turkish Muslim, had killed and enslaved Hindus before them.
